Border Patrol: Suspected drug smugger shot after running over agent with pickup in NM desert

EL PASO, Texas - U.S. Border Patrol agents shot a suspected drug smuggler in the New Mexico desert after the man ran over an officer with a pickup truck, officials said Friday.

Doug Mosier, a Border Patrol spokesman in El Paso, said agents were trying to stop the truck on a desert road Thursday night when one of them was hit. At least one other agent opened fire, hitting the driver.

The driver then crashed the truck about 25 miles west of the border crossing at Santa Teresa, Mosier said. The driver and the agent were both taken to a hospital in El Paso.

Mosier said the agent suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and no details on the driver's condition were available Friday.

Agents found a large quantity of suspected marijuana inside the truck, Mosier said.

The truck was believed to have crossed the border along a patch of rough desert, but Mosier said it was unclear exactly where the driver crossed since the area has about 48 miles of vehicle and pedestrian fencing.
